💕 30 Years, One Love (and a Lot of Laughter)
This week’s a bit special—it marks my 30th anniversary with my wife, and y’all… it’s kind of a big deal. 💍
We met in an AOL chatroom back in 1995 (yep, back when the internet made robot noises 😆). I was just a girl in my 30s looking for someone real—and I found her. She’s been my ride-or-die through it all. She cheers for this podcast louder than anyone. 🎉
We were gonna cruise for this milestone, but with the chaos in the world, we opted for a cozy dinner and some quality time instead. And let me tell you, the secret sauce to 30 years?
💬 We talk.
🤣 We laugh—a LOT.
💖 And at the core, we’re just good humans who’ve got each other’s backs.
So now it’s your turn:
What’s your longest relationship—and what keeps it thriving? We’d love to hear your story. 🥰
🧠 Reflection Time: Turn Insight Into Action
We know how easy it is to listen to a great podcast, nod along, and… forget what hit you by dinnertime.
That’s why we created our Podcast Reflection Worksheet 📝—a simple space for you to jot down what hit home, what sparked something, and how you’ll carry it forward.
✨ It’s all about turning insight into impact. - Podcast Worksheet _04_01_25_How Hadley Found Her Joy After Letting Go of Social Drinking.pdf
🔍 What This Episode Is Really About
This episode isn’t about quitting alcohol—it’s about choosing yourself.
Hadley’s journey isn’t some dramatic, rock-bottom redemption arc. It’s about the quiet discomfort, the internal nudge, and finally asking, “Is this helping me—or holding me back?”
Together we explore: - How alcohol played into Hadley’s mental health rollercoaster 🎢 - The real talk about “mommy wine culture” 🍷🙄 - Navigating friendships, routines, and self-image without a crutch - Discovering clarity, peace, and joy—without the buzz
Trust us, this is a must-listen if you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, identity, or what it really means to feel okay.
